Weighted-average method, spoilage, equivalent units. (CMA, adapted) Consider the following data for November 2017 from MacLean Manufacturing Company, which makes silk pennants and uses a process-costing system. All direct materials are added at the beginning of the process, and conversion costs are added evenly during the process. Spoilage is detected upon inspection at the completion of the process. Spoiled units are disposed of at zero net disposal value. MacLean Manufacturing Company uses the weighted-average method of
a Degree of completion: direct materials, 100%; conversion costs, 45%.
b Degree of completion: direct materials, 100%; conversion costs, 35%.
Required
Compute equivalent units for direct materials and conversion costs. Show physical units in the first column of your schedule.

- For E2-17, prepare any journal entries that would have been different if the only trigger points had been the purchase of materials and the sale of finished goods. Davis Co. uses backflush costing to account for its manufacturing costs. The trigger points are the purchase of materials, the completion of goods, and the sale of goods. Prepare journal entries to account for the following: a. Purchased raw materials, on account, 70,000. b. Requisitioned raw materials to production, 70,000. c. Distributed direct labor costs, 15,000. d. Factory overhead costs incurred, 45,000. (Use Various Credits for the account in the credit part of the entry.) e. Completed all of the production started. f. Sold the completed production for 195,000, on account. (Hint: Use a single account for raw materials and work in process.)arrow_forwardVerde Company reported operating costs of 50,000,000 as of December 31, 20x5, with the following environmental costs: Required: 1. Prepare an environmental cost report, classifying costs by quality category and expressing each as a percentage of total operating costs. What is the message of this report? 2. Prepare a pie chart that shows the relative distribution of environmental costs by category. What does this report tell you? 3. What if Verde deliberately did not include the cost of damaging the ecosystem because of solid waste disposal in its environmental cost report? Offer possible reasons for this decision. If consciously avoided, is this decision unethical?arrow_forwardPhysical units, inspection at various stages of completion. Chemet manufactures chemicals in a continuous process. The company combines various materials in a specially congured machine at the beginning of the process, and conversion is considered uniform through the period. Occasionally, the chemical reactions among the materials do not work asexpected and the output is then considered spoiled. Normal spoilage is 4% of the good units that pass inspection. The following information pertains to March 2017:arrow_forward
- State the journal entries necessary to record the assignment of direct materials, direct manufacturing wages and manufacturing overhead applied to the Baking Department. Also give the journal entries to record the cost of goods completed and transferred to the Spraying Department. Given that 25% of the unexpected losses were because of pilferage, prepare the abnormal spoilage statement, clearly showing Michael Pottery’s true loss.arrow_forwardA firm uses a process costing st=ystem and inspects its goods at the end of manufacturing.the inspection as of june 30 revealed the following information for the month of june: Good units completed 24000 normal spoilage(units) 65 abnormal spoilage(units) 2000 units cost were materials $12.00 and conversion cost $9.50. the number of units that the firm would transfer its finished goods inventory and the realted cost of these units are: a) number of units? b) Cost?arrow_forwardBurlington Textiles has some spoiled goods that had an assigned cost of $40,000 and zero net disposal value. Prepare a journal entry for each of the following conditions under (a) process costing (department A) and (b) job costing: 1. Abnormal spoilage of $40,000 2. Normal spoilage of $40,000 regarded as common to all operations 3. Normal spoilage of $40,000 regarded as attributable to specifications of a particular jobarrow_forward
- The abnormal spoilage is 300 units and the cost per equivalent unit is $2 for direct materials and $3 for conversion. The inspection point is at the end of processing. There are 600 units in ending Work-in-Process and normal spoilage is 200 units. What are the equivalent units for material and conversion using the weighted -average method and the FIFO method? Please provide an explanation of the calculation.arrow_forwardThe abnormal spoilage is 705 units and the cost per equivalent unit is $5 for direct materials and $6 for conversion. The inspection point is at the end of processing. There are 1,410 units in ending Work-in-Process and normal spoilage is 470 units. What is the cost of spoilage shown separately on the cost report?arrow_forwardChemet manufactures chemicals in a continuous process. The company combines various materials in a specially configured machine at the beginning of the process, and conversion is considered uniform through the period. Occasionally, the chemical reactions among the materials do not work as expected and the output is then considered spoiled. Normal spoilage is 4% of the good units that pass inspection. The following information pertains to March 2017: Beginning inventory = 2,500 units (100% complete for materials; 25% complete for conversion costs) Units started = 30,000 Units in ending work in process = 2,100 (100% complete for materials; 70% complete for conversion costs) Chemet had 1,900 spoiled units in March 2017. compute the normal and abnormal spoilage in units, assuming the inspection point is at (a) the 20% stage of completion, (b) the 45% stage of completion, and (c) the 100% stage of completion.arrow_forward
- Now assume that the assembly department inspects at the 60% stage of completion. Using the w eighted-average method, calculate the cost of units transferred out, the cost of abnormal spoilage, and the cost of ending inventory for the assembly department in November.arrow_forwardAl Habib manufacturer uses the FIFO method in its process costing system. The following information is available for the company for the month of February 2023. All materials are added at the start of production. All spoilage is abnormal and is detected by the final inspection at the end of the process. Beginning work in process (80% complete) 9,500 units Units Started 42,000 units Ending work in process (55% complete) 18,000 units Completed and transferred out 31,000 units Beginning work-in-process costs: Materials $14,000 Conversion $38,200 Current costs: Materials $50,750 Conversion $173,130 Required: Using the Microsoft Excel program, prepare a cost of production report for the company for the month of February 2023. Your report must be completed in a good format with all four steps in a typical process costing system.
